Supt16 - SPT16, facilitates chromatin remodeling subunit

Predicted to enable nucleosome binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA replication-independent chromatin organization; positive regulation of transcription elongation from RNA polymerase II promoter; and transcription elongation from RNA polymerase II promoter. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair and DNA replication. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of FACT complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; hindlimb phalanx; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SUPT16H (SPT16 homolog, facilitates chromatin remodeling subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
